     Again, there have been few cases where this has caused problems (on the
     order of 10-20 packages out of 1000.)  I agree it=E2=80=99s better if =
we can
     avoid these problems altogether, but it=E2=80=99s not a real threat ei=
ther.  ;-)
    =20
     What about doing this:
    =20
       1. Someone (Fede? :-)) opens a bug against GCC at
          <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> suggesting to install the =E2=80=
=98cc=E2=80=99
          link.
    =20
       2. In the next core-updates, we introduce (setenv "CC" "gcc"), as
          suggested by =E5=AE=8B=E6=96=87=E6=AD=A6, which is the least intr=
usive solution.  It
          will fix most uses I think, but not all (for instance, GLEW has
          =E2=80=9CCC =3D cc=E2=80=9D hard-coded in its Makefile, so it wil=
l still need
          patching; this is fine, IMO.)
    =20
     WDYT?
    =20

If we choose to do that, then for consistency we should also=20
do (setenv "LEX" "flex") and (setenv "YACC" "bison")  Possibly a few others=
 too.
    =20
